CVE-2024-6685Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Group runner disclosure via guessed GraphQL identifier

Published Sep 16, 2024 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Authorization bypass in affected GitLab CE/EE releases allows remote authenticated users to read group runner details through GraphQL. The runner(id:) GraphQL query accepts a guessed global runner identifier and returns runner metadata without enforcing Maintainer or Owner authorization. Exploitation requires Developer membership in the group and discovery of a runner ID; the reported impact is limited to disclosure.
